The charity helping northern state students reach our best universities

Early success for Linacre 2016 students

Less than eight weeks after sending off their applications, almost all of Linacre’s 2016 students have already won offers from the UK’s dozen most academically demanding universities.

The 24 students have already won many offers from Durham, Edinburgh, Bristol and others.

All at Linacre would like to take the chance to say a huge well done!

Twenty-two students are also now awaiting the outcome of applications to Oxford and Cambridge. In the past, half of the charity’s applicants have been offered places - a success rate matching any school in the country.

Our fingers are very much crossed for you all!
